It was an ordinary day. My son, Tad, had just parked his car and we were exiting it in preparation of visiting the North East Wheels Event which is being held in the large grassy area in front of the Neffsville Nursing snd Rehab Center in Neffsville, Pennsylvania.
We have visited the event for many years and enjoy the variety of automobiles that are entered every year. Wasn't long before we heard the roar of a few of the cars as they were being parked on the grassy area in front of the Rehab Center. I began snapping photos of all the cars we passed until we came to a 1933 Ford Coupe that was a real show-stopper. The car was amazing with an orange paint job that seemed to illuminate the car from any angle. We talked with the owner who told us about the car and what all he had done to the car in the past few users. The orange paint job with light tan leather upholstery was beautiful and set off the car from the rest of the others in the show. Tad and I walked the Showgrounds looking at all the other cars that were entered in the show. Wasn't long before we were back in front of the '33 Ford Speedster Coupe. What a remarkable car. We talked a bit more with the owner and snapped a few more photographs and headed back to his car. Check out some of the photographs that I have taken and you will see the caliber of the craftsmanship that goes into a show car. Years ago I used to enter my 1987 bright red Corvette convertible in shows, but nothing can compare to the '33 Coupe that Tad and I saw today. You can't imagine how dynamic it was unless you are standing in front of it. Every part of the car was ablaze in the fall sunlight. Only with we would have had a chance to hear the roar of the engine. We left the show after a second look and can't imagine another car beating it out for "Best of Show." It was another extraordinary day in the life of an ordinary guy.
Photos of a few of our other favorites follow. See if you can find one that you would enjoy driving and perhaps owning.
